The Top 50 Things You Never Knew About Fallout, Pt. 1

As E3 approaches and our anticipation for Fallout 4 only grows (and boy, have we been waitin'), like many other Fallout fans we've been dusting off the old games and giving them another spin to soothe the cravings until the big announcement day. While we were at it we dug up a ton of tiny little tidbits you may or may not have ever known about the series.
